When I started Mandalorian I had no idea of the trouble I was getting into. People calling us Mandolin, having to explain how to spell it three times in a row, and worst of all, coming mid table on alphabetised supplier lists.
If you're starting up, think about your market and your competitors. You don't need a cool funky name. It just needs to be fairly short, easy to spell and say, preferably starting with A or 1 if you're going on supplier lists and not easily confused with or tied to something else in the market.
- vanelsas 16y agoThe rules are so simple, but getting a name right (and getting a domain for it), just isn't simple. And, as the post shows, shouldn't be decided upon lightly :-(
- nikster 16y agoI once worked for Stagecast - easy enough right? But people kept calling us Stagecraft or other varieties...
- vanelsas 16y agoI guess it depends on whether they would know what it is you offer, and where to find you, would define if that was an issue or not. Choosing a name has advantages and always unexpected side effects. It doesn't always have to be negative though
